07 Jul (Giveaway) The Hour is Everything: Caudalie Fleur de Vigne Fresh Fragrances
When I attended the launch of Caudalie’s Limited Edition Fresh Fragrances a few weeks ago at The Vinotherapie Spa at the Plaza Hotel, little did I know that the evening would be reminiscent of Proust’s major novel.
In the cool depths of the Plaza’s Spa, we were introduced to a selection of wines by the resident sommelier, a gesture fitting for the vinotherapy roots of the brand. The antioxidant powers of reservatrol have been harnessed by several brands, but Caudalie lives and breathes it. From its remarkably effectivePremier Cru The Eye Cream (80% more radiant skin and 160% increased in cell life span after 10 days of use) to the three Limited Edition Fragrances we were introduced to at the event, Caudalie is all about harnessing the fine properties of the great grape.
The three Limited Edition fragrances celebrate the unique time of day: the Fleur De Vigne Fragrance pays homage to the grape blossom which blooms every June. It’s an refreshing fragrance with notes of grapefruit, mandarin and cedar. The suggested time of day for use is the morning.
The Zeste de Vigne is an energizing unisex fragrance with notes of sweet lemon, petit grain and bergamot, and suggested for use at noon.
Finally the The Des Vignes evokes the stillness of dusk, and has notes of white musk, neroli and ginger. It is a mystical fragrance with 10% pure parfum, and the most concentrated of the three, perfect for use in the evening.
The elegant glass spray bottles retail for $38 and will be available in the summer.
Now, about the contest. Funny you asked! Tell us what your ideal time of day is, and how you normally spend it (e.g. if it’s afternoon, do you get lunch at the Italian trattoria or a biscotti; if it’s morning, do you get your freshly-brewed latte?). Be descriptive. The more creative, the more chance you have of winning.
Please submit your entry by July 20th. We will pick one winner and send it to Caudalie, when Mathilde will choose her favorite entry to receive the grand prize: a gift basket filled with $250 worth of Caudalie products. The fragrances are available for purchase at Sephora.com and Caudalie-USA.com.
Remember to leave a comment below to be considered. Good luck ladies!

Posted at 02:01h, 07 JulyMy favorite time is late afternoon. I take a break to have some quiet time all to myself. I like to have a cup of coffee with some flavored creamer, usually hazelnut, with a treat such as a little dark chocolate. When the weather is nice, I like to have my quiet, relaxing time in a rocking chair on the porch! A liitle bit of heaven in a busy day.

Posted at 02:01h, 07 JulyMy ideal time of day is the evening after all the kiddos are snuggled in bed. Then it’s relaxation time for me! I run myself a hot bubble bath, light candles and pour a glass of wine. Then i just sit and soak and think about all of the special memories that i made with my children for that day and what other amazing adventures tomorrow will bring. When i am finished i am relaxed & ready to snuggled up in my own bed with my dh and watch a romantic movie together. All of those things for me =Pure Bliss.

Posted at 02:03h, 07 JulyMy ideal time of day is early morning when I finally get everyone out of the house. I sit down in front of the computer and catch up on email and watch the morning news. It is my alone time and I enjoy my morning coffee and alone time.
